Trade unions and workers with disabilities: Promoting decent work, combating discrimination
This quarterly review published by the Bureau for Workers' Activities of the ILO focuses on what trade unions can do to defend and promote the rights of workers with disabilities. There is a wealth of instruments at international and national level to address the many problems faced by disabled persons concerning access to education, training and employment and trade unions have a very important role to play in this campaign. The publication reports on a number of initiatives taken in that direction, including providing access to vocational training for disabled persons and changes in laws and policies concerning the training and employment of disabled persons.
